05-4-2008 - Making my own choice thinkingMy mood while writing this blog:
thinking



Today marks the day where I have stopped and will discontinue the use of the procardia drug given to me by my doctors.. the reason in me making this choice is because I feel I have been taking it too long and the side effects are beginning to get to me... every time I take them I feel very depressed in a very sadden mood.. it affects everything around me because I am not in the right mood when I am on them.. it also makes my chest feel as if I can not barely breathe and that is not a fun feeling.. the stronger reason I have decided in not taking them is the long research I have done on the drug.. this drug has never been tested on pregnant women but on mice and other rodents.. the affects it has had on these pregnant creatures was problems with the limbs of the babies, their ribs, and some mental damage as well. That raised a flag in my head.. when I read on I saw that I am only suppose to be given this drug within 24 hours so that the steroid shot ( to mature the baby's lungs) takes it course and I can be ready to deliver if nothing can stop the contractions.. prolong use of the drug can have side effects on me such as hypo tension, depression and heart issues.. this drug can also put fluid into my lungs.. also it drops blood pressure which decreases the amount of oxygen the baby gets.. I read much more about it and I am not going to continue it just because the head doc was not there at my last appointment.. I am not doing it because of their carelessness in not being there and monitoring what is going on with my pregnancy.. something tells me to do what I want to do and that is what I amn going to lean against.. my husband still has his own views about it but he is not the one carrying the baby and feeling how the baby reacts when I have taken this pill.. she slows down and moves in an odd way.. he is not the one feeling the depression and the way this pill has an affect on me.. when I had almost went into preterm with my first they never sent me home with anything.. they did what they did at the hospital and sent me home on bed rest.. so I am going to still stick to the bed rest part and take it easy.. even if she was born now she has a 99 percent chance of survival.. her U/S is normal and everything looks good... I even made a pack and told my husband if I feel the contractions coming in I will take the medication.. so far today I have not had one contraction .. so far so good.. I feel a bit at ease and I know God is watching over us making sure all is well.
